“There have been no conversations about it, but in the last few days I may have thought about it, but we still have not had a conversation about it, so to be honest I do not know.

“We were not sure of survival until last week and I did not think about it and I did not want to talk to the club because I could see how stressed everyone was.

“Then we managed and were told that David stopped, so it will depend on the new coach and what he wants.

“I want to stay because I like the place.

“Everyone has been nice, the fans have been excellent and the club is going a different way and I would be interested to see how it turns out.

“But yes, I have enjoyed my time at the club, so why not?”
